Chapter 257: A Drum Down (6)

In the battle to capture Dezhou, after the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion and the 2nd Regiment and 1st Battalion successfully attacked the Japanese air defense position at the Dezhou Railway Station, the goal of controlling the Dezhou Railway Station was basically achieved. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It was easy to seize the air defense position of the Japanese army's Dezhou station, and to relieve the Japanese army of the danger of detonating the ammunition and fuel stored on the platform and in the freight yard from a long distance with the Gaoping dual-purpose guns and Gaoping dual-purpose machine guns.

This was the first time that the armored battalion participated in actual combat tonight, the first battle against Yuan Qiao, and then the battle at Dezhou Station. With the development of the battle, the self-confidence of the cadres and soldiers of the armored battalion has risen, and the operation has become smoother, and the sense of seeking war is extremely strong!

No, after killing from the Japanese army's anti-aircraft artillery position and machine gun position to the front of the station, Yuan Gang shouted loudly through the on-board radio: "I am Yuan Gang, all of them, aim at the little devils and use machine gun bullets to eliminate them!" Crush them with tank tracks! Beat! ”

The vehicle-mounted machine guns of five tanks and two armored vehicles were sweeping wildly, the Type 92 heavy machine guns and Type 96 light machine guns of the first regiment and the first battalion were sweeping wildly, and the state-made Makqin heavy machine guns and Czech light machine guns of the second regiment and one battalion were sweeping wildly.

The Texas train station became a slaughterhouse, and blood flowed all over the ground.

There are also a lot of little devils guarding the Texas station, a railway garrison squadron, an anti-aircraft gun squadron, and an anti-aircraft machine gun squadron, adding up to nearly 400 people. It's just that the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns of the Japanese army are all on the positions, and these two squadrons dedicated to air defense are basically rarely equipped with infantry combat weapons, and they are in a hurry to respond to the battle after being awakened from sleep at night, and the platform and freight yard of the Dezhou station are controlled by the reconnaissance company of the Eighth Route Army, and most of their soldiers are screaming with their bare hands, and they are in a hurry. At this time, it can only be the target of the Eighth Route Army.

The first regiment and one battalion and the second regiment and one battalion of the Dezhou station were captured, and they did not stop, leaving a platoon to be responsible for guarding the station, preparing to hand over the defense to the baggage battalion that was about to arrive, and the main force was guided by the reconnaissance company to kill several barracks of the Japanese puppet army.

Dezhou City is a brick city built in the early Ming Dynasty, the shape is like a boot, there is an urn city at the south gate, the east gate, the north gate, and the west gate are also double city gates, and the small west gate is close to the canal. The entire old city of Texas is only more than two square kilometers, which is not big.

From a military point of view, the old Texas city stands by the canal on the Great Plains, and it is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack!

However, since the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, with the construction of a 700-acre arsenal outside the east gate by Yuan Shikai and the construction of the Jinpu railway, highway and airport, the pattern of the old Dezhou city has changed, and from a military point of view, the focus of the garrison has shifted from the old city to the more meaningful airport, railway, highway and canal wharf.

In any case, if it weren't for Xiao Siming's successful mobilization of the Japanese army, if it weren't for the Japanese army's Taishun fight on the Xuzhou front, the commander of the Japanese army's Texas garrison, Fuyuan Zhongzuo, would not have been so arrogant and careless, and the Eighth Route Army would not have been able to attack Dezhou City so smoothly!

At this time, the Japanese troops in Dezhou City had already reacted, and in a hurry, they all began to resist and block the Eighth Route Army, which was rapidly interspersed.

Throughout Texas City, there was gunfire inside and outside the city.

The Leling training is the unit's joint combat tactics. If we talk about the quality of individual soldiers, at this time, due to the large number of new recruits in the units of the detachment before the eastward advance, there was still a big gap between the individual quality of the commanders and fighters and that of the Japanese army. If nothing else, just shooting, the vast majority of soldiers could not reach the level of individual shooting of the Japanese army in a short period of time. However, the eastward advance detachment is now concentrating superior forces, bullying the weak with the strong and the outnumbered, and far surpassing the Japanese troops in the city of Texas in terms of strength and firepower. Because most of the Japanese troops in Dezhou City were baggage troops of various units, although the number was not too small, the equipment was not as good as the infantry brigade of the Japanese army. This is another raid operation, fighting devils is unprepared, those devil soldiers got up from the bed in a daze, hurriedly entered the battle, and the strength and weakness were judged!

At the beginning, the units of the Eighth Route Army were advancing rapidly, interspersed with divisions. After controlling important targets such as railway stations, railway station freight yards, canal wharves, and warehouses, the end of the Japanese puppet army in Texas was completely coming, and the Eighth Route Army began to use regiments as units to carry out key strikes on the Japanese puppet army that was divided and blocked in several barracks.

After Xiao Siming broke into Dezhou City with all the troops, he led the detachment to follow into the city.

As soon as they entered the city, the communications company quickly pulled up the telephone lines and connected the telephone with the regiments, so that the commander could direct the battle.

Xiao Siming simply set up his headquarters at the Dezhou Post Office, that is, the Dezhou Telegraph Office established at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and commanded all troops to fight on the spot.

Xiao Siming was very satisfied with tonight's battle, and the performance of all units tested the effect of Leling's training.

Knowing that the troops are progressing smoothly, the Japanese puppet army in Dezhou City has now been successfully divided, lost its unified command, and fought separately, Xiao Siming was overjoyed, and strictly ordered all troops on the phone to divide the Japanese puppet army, concentrate firepower and troops, clear point by point, and the battle in Dezhou City must be ended within two hours!

Xiao Siming's order is tantamount to giving a life talisman to the little devil!

After the commander of the Japanese garrison in Texas, Tomiyuan Nakasa, gave the order, and regardless of whether his order could be smoothly transmitted to all units, he hurriedly asked the radio to report to the headquarters of the Second Army of the Japanese Army moving to Xuzhou and the advance headquarters of the North China Front Army in Jinan that the Eighth Route Army attacked Dezhou!

At this time, the eyes of the Japanese army were staring at the battle in the eastern section of Longhai Road, whether it was General Terauchi Shouyichi, commander of the North China Front, or Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo, chief of staff of the North China Front Army who was in charge of the command of the former enemy in Jinan, including the new commander of the Second Army, Lieutenant General Tsuruhiko Wang Higashikurenomiya, no one could have imagined that the Eighth Route Army would suddenly attack Texas!

Texas, now it is the most important supply lifeline of the North China Front, hoarding land, how dare the Eighth Route Army attack Texas!

At this time, the commander of the Second Army, Lieutenant General Higashikure Palace Tsukihiko Wang, and the chief of staff of the North China Front Army, Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo, sent an urgent telegram as soon as possible, strictly ordering Fuyuan Nakasa to command the Texas garrison to resolutely eliminate the Eighth Route Army that was attempting to sneak attack Texas and ensure the safety of the supplies hoarded in Texas!

Fuyuan Nakasa was too anxious just now, and only reported that the Eighth Route Army was attacking Texas, and did not make it clear that the Eighth Route Army had broken through the city, which caused the arrogant Lieutenant General Tokurenomiya Tsukihiko Wang and Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo to misjudge and order him to destroy the Eighth Route Army besieging the city!

When is this, the whole city is full of gunfire, and Lieutenant General Tsukihiko Wang and Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo of Higashikure Palace also strictly ordered Tomigen Nakasa to eliminate the Eighth Route Army besieging the city, which is a bit of a joke!

Fu Yuanzhong was full of depression, so he had to send a report again, reporting that the Fourth Independent Railway Brigade stationed in Dezhou was engaged in battle with the Eighth Route Army in Lingxian County, and that there were only the guard squad of the garrison headquarters, the garrison troops stationed at the Dezhou Railway Station, and the 16th Division, the 114th Division, the 3rd and 13th Brigades, and the 3rd and 5th Brigades, and the other was the Dexian Self-Police Regiment and the Canal Garrison Brigade. Now, the Eighth Route Army has attacked the city of Texas!

Lieutenant General Higashikure Palace, Tsukihiko Wang, and Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo only then knew that Tokushu Castle had become an empty city!

If Texas is lost, the consequences are unimaginable!

Lieutenant General Tsukihiko and Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported to General Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the North China Front Army in Beiping, and once again strictly ordered Fuyuan Nakasa to organize all the troops in Dezhou City, resolutely repel the attack of the Eighth Route Army, and drive the Eighth Route Army out of Dezhou City. At the same time, he strictly ordered Fuyuan Zhongsa to immediately transfer the Fourth Independent Brigade of the Railway to quickly return to aid Dezhou, and ordered the Fifth Independent Brigade of the Railway to concentrate its forces and reinforce Dezhou.

Fearing that Dezhou would be lost, Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo, chief of staff of the North China Front, sent a direct telegram ordering the Third Railway Wing stationed in the section from Cangzhou to Wuqiao to send reinforcements to Dezhou and eliminate the Eighth Route Army that had attacked Dezhou.

This sent a report to the Third Railway Wing, and Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo knew that the main force of the Third Railway Wing was sweeping in the area of Nanpi and Yanshan!

Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo immediately realized that the Eighth Route Army had done enough to capture Texas, and the outcome of this game of chess had already been decided!

The only hope now is that Fuyuan Zhongzuo can organize the troops of the several troops left in Dezhou City, drive the Eighth Route Army out of Dezhou City, or hold out until the reinforcements of the Fourth and Fifth Brigades of the Railway Independence arrive!

Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe is still dreaming, dreaming that the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is strong, and the baggage troops of the Japanese army station left in the city of Dezhou can hold out for a while!

After all, Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo was scheming, although he was superstitious about the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, but he was still uneasy in his heart, and after thinking about it, he immediately ordered to transfer a brigade from the second wing of the mixed brigade of the North China garrison army stationed in Jinan to reinforce Dezhou by train!

The North China Garrison Army, which was mixed into brigades, was the culprit unit that provoked the Lugou Bridge Incident, and its combat effectiveness was strong. Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe thought that as long as this brigade rushed to Texas, he would definitely be sure to eliminate the Eighth Route Army that was sneaking into Texas!

Knowing that Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo, chief of staff of the North China Front, ordered an infantry brigade of the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Army to transport reinforcements to Dezhou, Fuyuan Nakasa was like a chicken blood, and he came to his senses at once!

Fuyuan Zhongsa then asked the radio to send a report to several military station troops, informing them that the Fourth Brigade and the Fifth Brigade of the Railway Independence were about to return to reinforcements, and the Front Army transferred the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Army Mixed Brigade to reinforce Dezhou, and strictly ordered all troops to resolutely counterattack and drive the Eighth Route Army out of Dezhou City!

As soon as the telegram was sent, I heard a boom, and the gate of the Japanese Texas Garrison Command was opened by the Eighth Route Army! (To be continued.) )
